in a desert is me, a deserted grain of gold amidst an agglomeration of sand forming igloos with loos open wide to swallow me whole
is it my fault I shine different?

in a tissue is me, a strange cell of cone amidst a horde of cells forming cysts with canker lying within to corrupt me through
am I flawed for seeing different?

in an orchard is me, a vermilion bud of rose amidst a swarm of whites wounding thorns with venom sizzling inside to bleach my red
who knew sins were in ranks and didn't tell?

in a lightning bolt is me, a lone pair of electrons amidst a shell of bonds generating forces of attraction disturbing balance to neutralize my affinity
everything is supposed to match an opposite?

in space is me, a unique spore of light amidst a constellation of stars pulling novas of neutrons fattening themselves to overshine my queerness
why?

because i'm special afterall
